Has any creature thought of Lincoln hid In any vault, 'neath coffin lid, In all the years since trrat wild spring of pain? Tis false he never in the grave hath lain. You could not bury him although you slid Upon his clay the Cheops pyramid Or heaped It with the Rocky Moun tain chain. They slew themselves: they but set Lincoln free. In all the earth his great heart beats as strong. Shall beat while pulses throb to chiv airy And burn with hate of tyranny and wrong. Whoever will, may find him. any where Save In the tomb.

We could try this case forever. We could go on for days and days. We couldn't do anything for Colonel Lindbergh. "But we could do one thing In this case, let me tell you. This Jury can, by its verdict, do on thing for the colonel, for Anne, for the country. We can make the country a little bit more secure, we can make the children a little safer, we can make women a little happier. "We can translate Colonel Lind bergh's loss and sorrow Into some gain for civilization, to show that whether we catch a man walking into the room or not. we ran crush these snakes. We can crush these criminals. Tcu can serve society so society will gain even at Colonel Lindbergh's loss." (Copyright, 1035, by Associated Pre&s.t FLEMI NGTON , N. J., Feb. 12. iP The state asked today that there De "no mercy" for Bruno Richard Haupt mann "You can't compromise with mur der and murderers!" said Attorney- General David T. Wllentz in his final plea to the jury to send Hauptmaitu to the electric chair for the kidnaping and murder of Baby Charles A. Lind bergh, Jr. "If you get the feeling that ttv case is what Mr. (Edward J.) Rellly says, a perfect case, it Is your sol emn duty to find a verdict of murder in the first degree." , He described what he called a per fect case for mercy, and declared tho Hauptmann case was not that kind. Says Bruno Will Thaw. "There may be some questions you can't answer." He gestured toward Hauptmann. "But there sits a mm who can answer them. He will be thawed out, he is cold, yes, he will be thawed out when he hears that switch that's the time he will talk " Wllentz" swept his hand toward Hauptmann's defense staff. "There is nobody at that table who doesn't feel he is guilty. I don't care what they say." He denied Re lily's contention that the state had to prove Hauptmann was alone In the crime. "He could have had fifty help him If he participated in this murder that's all you've got to deal with." "Might I ask," Wllentz addressed the court, "that so far as the de fendant and his wife are concerned T may have the right to proceed with out any demonstration from that quarter?" ' No Demonstration. "You certainly may." said the court. "There la to be no demonstration or Interruption of any kind, proceeding from any person. Let that be per fectly understood." The attorney-general plunged im mediately into his plea that Haupt mann be punished as the kidnaper and murderer of Baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.. and first off he match ed Defense Chief Edward J. Reilly's use of tho biblical text, "Judge nvt, lest ye be Judged," with another.- "He that kllleth any man shall surely be killed, shall surely be put to death," he quoted. "For all these months since Octo ber, 1934, (when Wllentz entered the case), not during one moment his there been anything that has come o the surface of life that has Indicated anything but the guilt of this de fendant, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, and no one else." he went on. Wouldn't Be American Wllentz asked himself what type of man would commit the Lindbergh crime. He also answered himself: ' "He wouldn't be an American. No American gangster and no Amer ican racketeer ever sank to the level of killing babies. It had to be a fellow with ice water In hia veins. Not blood. It had to be the fellow that was an egomaniac who thought he waa omnipotent. It had to be a secretive fellow that wouldn't tell his wife about his money. It had to be a fellow that could undergo hardships, the kind of a fellow that A WORD 19 TNE WIVES IS SUFFICIENT The meals yon terre help keep the family 6t.

Exports of pork from the United States showed a slightly upward trend In 1934, but this was offset by a decline In ex ports in lard. Annual shipments abroad remain at about three-fourths of a billion pounds, as compared with nearly two billion pounds tn the early post-war period. The de cline during the ten years from 1923 to 1932, as Indicated by the above graph, has been equivalent to about nine million hogs.

Defends Witnesses He charged the defense tried to "assassinate character" under the protection of the court, referring to Reilly's chargea that the police framed evidence and that Lindbergh sen-ants were implicated m In the crime. The prosecutor turned to Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the New Jersey state police. "Colonel Schwarzkopf, please stand up!" The police head came to hia feet. "Does he look like a crook?" the attorney asked. "A man who served hia nation against his fath erland on the front of Europe." He repeated the formula with Henry D. Bruchmann and William E. Frank, a federal agent who test ified about Hauptmann's DroKerage Swni,nfi Thon nnm hv one. he defended the state's witnesses against the charge and innuenaco of Rellly. whose summation was a livered yesterday. , Bruno Admission Read ' In answer to Reilly's charge that Inspector Bruchmann framed the evidence from Hauptmann's home a board bearing the telephone num ber and address of Dr. John F. (Jafsle) Condon, ranaom Intermed iary, Wllentz read transcript of Hhjptmann's examination by the district attorney of the Bronx, when he answered "Yes," to admit he had made the notations. Wllentz denied for Arthur J. Koehler, federal wood expert, that any advancement could come out of hta testimony for the state. "He Is at the top or the heap," he said, and then, taking Rellly to task, "but he has to be assassin ated in this scheme In order to free Hauptmann." The attorney general attacked the defense's plea or poverty, citing wit nesses from far distances, radio pleas and other costly items, and de clared: Spent Much In Defense Whv, I think thev have prob ably spent more money than the ' state has.

Germany, second ranking buyer of hog products, limited monthly lard Imports in 1934 to 40 per cent of the volume Imported ; during the corresponding months of 1931-33, and during the latter part of the year imposed restrictions on conversion of German money into foreign exchange that caused fur ther reductlona In lard Imports. The 1935 corn-hog production con trol program now being offered by the Agricultural Adjustment Admin Is trail on Is designed to help farmers keep hog numbers in line with the current low level of export trade. He pointed out that only one handwriting expert testified for the defense, while the record shows he allowed many others to examine the Lindbergh ransom notes. "Why aren't those other experts here?" he asked. "You know the reason. It's because they wouldn't dare say the handwriting was not Hauptmann's." "I think they have got lots of money," he said of the defense, "money coming from cranks and Idiots and fools, un-Amerlcans all over the country, pouring in enough money to hire what they consider the four best lawyers available. Cer tainly they wouldn't represent a murderer Just f represent him." EUGENK, ore., Feb. 12. (Jp) Fu neral services will be held here to morrow for A. M.
